Mårten Spångberg continues The Dancing Seminar: A Listening Dance, a series of 12 lectures on dance and choreography

12–3 PM · Duplex

The Dancing Seminar: A Listening Dance combines the theoretical nuances of a seminar with the affective qualities of dance, linking reason and reflection with the sensual and intuitive. In 12 three-hour long sessions Spångberg addresses topics thoroughly embedded in movement, dance and choreography and simultaneously attempts to place these in the broader contexts of labor, engagement, urgency, economy and politics. Rather than expanding notions of choreography, this series explores the possibilities of thought through dance and the concept of dance as a practice of truth. This series of seminars is co-hosted with Movement Research.

ARTBOOK @ MoMA PS1 is pleased to present Visualizing Trauma, a panel discussion and book signing in celebration of Spring 2013 publications from Daylight Books, an independent non-profit art and photography publisher.

Moderated by Fred Ritchin, professor of Photography and Imaging at the Tisch School of the Arts, and co-director of the NYU/Magnum Foundation Photography and Human Rights educational program, the panel will include photographers Brett Van Ort, Elin O'Hara Slavick and Jeff Jacobson, who will address the role of documentary photography as a medium to bear witness to the world while reflecting the practitioner's perception of reality.
